Back in 2012 Kobe was strongly implying he was going to retire in 2014 but the Achilles likely motivated him to hang on for 2 more years so he could go out on his own terms.
Idk man. That year we got Dwight he arguably had a renaissance. He lowkey thrived in that free flowing more “modern” offense . If only d’antoni was able to manage his minutes . Kobe could have played until 40 easy.

KD is someone you’d expect to be here, but he doesn’t have many “go off” type games. He’s content getting his efficient 25-30pts. I haven’t looked it up, but I don’t think KD had more than five 50pt games. I know he’s never scored 60.

Even prior to that though, he was never a player who took a bunch of shots for as elite he is as a scorer. He’s averaged 20FGAs just three times in his career. He attempted 30 or more shots 23 times in his career (career high is 37FGAs).

Most career 40 point games (including playoffs)

Kobe + Lebron together -- 243 games

Jordan - 211 games

Actually Jordan before 1990 at age 26 had more 40 point games than either Lebron or Kobe did in their entire careers.
